Heart's Desire
Do you ever find your heart's desire calling you out to sea? There you are...running on the shore...quite happy with knowing where your next foot is going to land...and then you hear the siren song coming from out at sea. That voice you ignored as a child, the one that would not go away until you locked it in a closet and threw away the key, seems to have checked out a sail boat and is chasing you. And it is gaining.
So what do we do? Continue that lovely run, humming a tune to block out the song of our dreams, hoping that the wind will die and the sails will empty, and our dream will go away.
Hoping that our dream will go away.
Or do we turn into the ocean and swim out to the dream, stretching our arms and kicking our legs with all that is in us for a second chance to be who we hoped to be.
Which I will do?
Which would you do?
